Words: The Power of Life and Death part 2

Jesus said, "I tell you that on the Day of Judgment people will have to account for every careless word they speak" (Matt 12:36). We expect Jesus to condemn profane and vile uses of the tongue, but idle words? All of us say some words carelessly, without concern for their impact on others. Why would God care about those? We assume that the sins of our tongue are minor sins, sins that God will overlook. Jesus was fully aware of the devastating nature of our words.This Sunday we will look at what Proverbs has to say about the destructive words we use and how with God's help, we can keep our tongues in check.
